Emily completed both her undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Texas. Much of her professional background is in pediatric emergency medicine. Her foundation in the ER is what reenforced an unwavering passion for pediatric medicine and what ultimately lead her to pursuing a career in advanced practice.
Prior to obtaining her master’s degree as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP), she spent 6 years honing her skills as a charge nurse in a local children’s emergency room. During this time, she also dabbled in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and other inpatient pediatric units. She has since transitioned into primary care, where she has enjoyed being able to build relationships with her patients and their families. She is heavily involved in continuing education in pediatric medicine and serves on the board for the Austin chapter of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP).
Emily’s favorite part of being a PNP is getting to know the families. Her experience in the emergency room has influenced how she approaches patient care. In the ER, Emily treated families during their most vulnerable moments. In view of this, she works hard to make sure her patients and their loved ones feel heard, understood, and wholly supported. Emily’s highest priority is making you and your child feel safe and valued.
Outside of clinic, she’s a big fan of Pilates, loves to try new recipes, and has a hidden passion for all things art and design.
